Hiya, Cindi! Welcome to planDisney!
There’s nothing better than planning a Walt Disney World vacation. OK, actually going on a Disney vacation may be better, but
planning is a close second.
Let’s start with the weather, one of my favorite topics besides Walt Disney World. According to multiple meteorological websites, the average high temperature in Central Florida for late April is in the mid-80s (Fahrenheit), with the temperatures steadily moving into the high-80s as we move into May. Low temperatures are usually in the mid-60s throughout the spring season. Historically, April and May aren’t the rainiest months for the Orlando area (that would be June, July, and August), but it’s not uncommon for rain storms to pop up and quickly move out of the area. That’s why I always pack a poncho!
Just like the weather, crowd levels at Walt Disney World can be difficult to forecast. The spring break season—which is usually between late February and early April, depending on the school district—is a popular time to visit for a lot of families. So coming in late April or early May as the kiddos return to school would certainly help you avoid the larger spring break crowds.
I’ve visited Walt Disney World at different times of the year and always had a magical time, even on busier days, by taking advantage of
Early Entry. This benefit allows guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels to enter the theme parks 30-minutes before official park opening to enjoy select experiences. Combined with
Lightning Lane passes, it’s a great way to make sure you get the most out of your Disney Day.
Cindi, I hope this info helps with your vacation planning. Between events like the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival and the gorgeous Florida weather, spring will be an excellent time to visit Walt Disney World. If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, pop right back to planDisney and ask away!
Magical travels!
